I am OK with high selectivity just as long as it's based on academic merit alone.

There are other selective factors at work, though, because a great many high-ability candidates are selecting their way out, because the sticker price is too high. We would only achieve a true meritocracy if admissions were strictly based on ability, and price was not a barrier.
